If this was an SBS box and a DC I'd be majorly wincing and telling you
to use the change IP address wizard... if we do it manually we do this:
How do I move my server to new hardware:

We do this trick of installing loopback adapters to 'hold' the
internal gunk stuff before we move cards.
Did you do that?
I guess you better start wincing... :)
It is a DC (SBS box?).
All I did was switch the cables on the back of the machine.
Then, I opened the properties for the card that is now external, and
I copied the settings. Then I opened the properties for the card that is
now internal, and copied those settings. Once that was done, I copied
the settings to the (new) external card, and then did the same for the
(new) internal card. No cards were physically removed or changed, only
which network cable was plugged in where was changed.
After that I rebooted the machine. Once the reboot was complete, I
checked the DNS, which now showed the new IP for my external card.
I had hoped that that would be it, but it wasn't. I can get access to
the Internet, but I cannot see the server. It's as though the server has
dropped from the network. Yet at the same time, if I open up a
commandline window, and ping the server by name, I get a response (TCP
protocols, I guess are still working?). I checked the protocols
installed for each NIC, and they are all there, with the internal NIC
having them all active.
What protocols do I need to have installed for internal networking?
Right now I have IPX/SPX, NetBeui, and NetBios, as well as Client for MS
networks, and File & Printer sharing, all of which are enabled.
